Devanagari Lesson 1 Review

I hope you enjoyed the reading. You can go back over this lesson later if you need to, but don't study it too closely for now. Here's a quick review:

Devanagari is phonetic. Each letter in the Hindi script has a unique sound that it makes.
Letters have no names like English letters. They are called by the sound they make, along with the sound, "a" as in "majority."
If you are refer to letter by itself, you can add "kar" (as in the English, "car") to the end.
Devanagari is a syllabary. Each letter makes up a syllable of the word.
Devanagari is written from left to right, with no uppercase or lowercase letters.
Each letter in the syllabary has a solid horizontal bar on top, which forms a line from which the letters "hang" when written together.
